As I think is true for everyone, when I first heard the premise of this comic I thought it was stupid. However, after reading only a couple strips, I was hooked. Probably the best and most consistently entertaining comic out there, which is quite a feat since it has been updated Monday-Friday for years.

Detractors of constraint comics should not judge Dino Comics on its choice of form. The ingenuity of this comic actually comes from its maneuver around and within its formal limitations; and of course, it comes also from the brilliance of whimsical musings on things philosophical, cultural, and semantic. In other words, it\'s probably more of a high-brow Petrarchan sonnet than a sloppily served limerick.

so it's not for everyone. but Dinosaur Comics is SMART. if you don't mind the recycled artwork and the uber-absurdist, cerebral yet silly humor, you'll find that it can be a darn hilarious webcomic. North is continually playing with the limitations of his chosen format, his decision to recycle the same bare-bones clipart for his comic is seriously gutsy, and the fact that he makes it actually funny is a testament to his writing talent. Dinosaur Comics is all kinds of awesome...well, maybe not ALL kinds, but certainly a whole lot. Several, anyway.

I love dinosaur comics. I like how it's intelligent, well-rounded and well-learned, self-depricating, totally random, isn't bitter and doesn't take itself too seriously, it's not preachy, you can relate to all of the characters and you get the feeling that other people who read it are that way too. The fact that the art is the same every time and is just some random mac art pack pic makes it even funnier because of the ways Ryan North uses the space to make so many diferent scenarios play out and just the absurdity of the visual and the personalities of the dinosaurs being so counter-intuitive. Okay, rambling now.

I can't say I'm a huge fan of this, though it does have its moments. It still gets a good rating for being interesting and unique, important attributes in a webcomic universe filled with shitty sprite comics, Penny Arcade clones, and other generic garbage lacking in creativity. Not enough to hold my interest for very long, but worth checking out at least once.

A response really, though Dinosaur comics uses the same art over and over, it is to comics what a haiku or sonnet is to poetry, applying a restriction or set of rules within which the artist can work. It seems to me that it allows the creator the freedom to focus more on the written word which is, in Dinosaur Comics' case, awesome.

I usually care far for for the artwork in a comic when I first read it but I can't stop reading these. I'm not even slightly annoyed that the pictures have never changed. What the hell, I mean its entertainment, pure and simple.

Dinosaur Comics is interesting because it proves that you DON'T need to be an exceptional artist (without resorting to a loathesome sprite comic) to put out an incredibly funny comic strip on a daily basis. Plus it is sexy and exciting.

Every strip in this one is identical (with the art taken from a Macintosh art pak) save for the dialogue, which every so often is intelligently humorous...but text without art is a blog, not a webcomic.

Daily Dinosaur Comics is the best copy+paste imagery comic ever.
